Detective Wycliffe takes a traditional approach to solving crimes on his Cornwall beat, a land of myths and magnificent scenery. Includes 6 episodes.

With Wycliffe recovering from Patric Durno's attempt to kill him, Kersey takes charge when Farmer Miller wages war on anglers legally fishing on his land. When a salmon poacher is found dead, Lucy Lane resents Kersey's leading the enquiry and makes an unsuccessful promotion bid, but Kersey reels in the killer himself. Wycliffe rejects early retirement and returns to work.

Forthright and observant, Detective Superintendent Wycliffe leads an investigative team charged with solving baffling cases. Immigration, insurance swindlers, kidnappers, treasure seekers, suspicious suicides, and murderous doctors are some of the cunning criminals they pursue.
